[None of the other pokemon respond, but their silence seems to speak volumes. They don't fully understand what's happened here, but the fact that Gravity is referring to that Phantump as Dipper is a terrible sign.
After feeling his wooden head for a while with his hands, Gravity lets out a low whine, almost falling forwards as he wraps his arms carefully around the little ghost, pulling him in a close embrace.
It's that gesture that prompts the rest to slowly shuffle forwards and form a bit of a half circle around Dipper, not saying anything to him in favor of just staying as close to him as they possibly can. Dipper and Dib have talked about Phantump and the lore behind them enough in their presence for them to be able to piece together what happened.
And Dipper? All he knows to do is hang onto Gravity, resting his head on the Abra's shoulder. He's just thankful that his team made it out ok.]
